What hit me so unexpectedly was this barrage of music coming from just two men, which hurled me back into about 1987′s fetid Brazilian tape-trader jungle metal, but at the same time carrying a dominant genetic stamp throughout it that was distinctly Bode Preto’s. That usually just doesn’t happen — new bands are usually so hyped up and full of their own bullshit, sporting ripped off cover art and/or bastardizing someone else’s logo and when it boils down to the main body of their “art”, the music, well, to me it’s a meaningless string of riffs and rhythms sewn together to make a “song” with no conviction and leaving the listener feeling shafted and devoid of feeling.

That might be OK for some, but not for me — and that’s where Bode Preto comes to play so solidly. I feel Bode Preto — and that’s what I want from music. It’s this way with any medium, or should be. These guys simply let their art do the talking and we garner from it what we will. I don’t think hell is supposed to sound this good though. The song “Elytron (Succubus)” for me denotes a truly classic release. I urge you to tap into that drumming which was not recorded in any studio, but simply a plain room, and absorb the feeling, and you’re on the path which has at least as many layers as Dante’s Inferno, if not more.

Finally this masterpiece of occult Southamerican Blackened Death Metal will get it's vinyl treatment! I'm very happy that we could persuade this Brazilian band to work with us. The first time I listened to this album I was absolutely shocked. Positively, of course! This album is so deep, so extreme, so obscure.. I felt like travelling back in time when I was 15 and listened to SARCÓI_LOVE_PENIS, BLASPHEMY, old SEPULTURA.. Add some VON and you will have a pretty accurate example of what you will get here. 26 minutes of unmerciful, razor-sharp Death Metal in the good old (extreme) Southamerican tradition. Fábio Jhasko (ex-SARCÓI_LOVE_PENIS) contributed with riffs on three songs. Adelson Souza (DIABOLIC FORCE, ex-GRAVE DESECRATOR, ex-THE ENDOPARASITES) is the beast behind the drums.

There will be only 500 units pressed. They all come with a 60 x 30 cm insert specially designed by the band.
- 350 units will be pressed on standard black 140 g vinyl.
- 150 copies will be pressed on transparent red heavy 180 g vinyl only available from the band and from us.

Tentative release date for the vinyl edition is the 2nd of June, and you can pre-order your copy right HERE from the label charge, Unholy Prophecies._________________

IRON TYRANT is terribly proud to announce the signing of Brazilian Bestial Horde BODE PRETO
Founded in Brazil back in 2009, Bode Preto (which translates as Black Goat in Portuguese) released the "Dark Night" EP the following year, and the classic "Inverted Blood" CD/LP in 2012.

The total strength of this band resides in their adherence to the standards that made Brazilian Death/Black Metal such a savage and uncontrollable entity in the '80ies, whereas many contemporary Brazilian black/death metal bands just cannot even manage to get near the greatness of the days of yore, when ungodly acts were shocking the planet with uncompromising Bestial Metal filled with despair and aggression. It is not by chance that members of SarcóI_LOVE_PENIS, Holocausto and Impurity have joined the ranks of at one time or another.

The full length will be called "Mystic Massacre" and is currently being completed between Brazil and Hellfire Studios in the UK, where the album has been mixed and mastered. The Beast will be released on CD and later on limited vinyl, as well as ultra-limited Picture Disc LP.

An EP will also be released featuring the vocal talents of Goat (ex-VON / SIXX / VON GOAT), such tracks being exclusive to this limited vinyl for the moment.

Any news on the contents of this EP?

I'm amazed that the Mystic Massacre album hasn't been mentioned on this forum. It has the sound of an old Cogumelo record (perhaps 'hurled me back into about 1987′s fetid Brazilian tape-trader jungle metal' is a slight exaggeration, as it feels closer to the early 90's era in Brazil, comparable to IMPURITY or AMEN'S CORNER in both how it sounds and looks), along with the excellent artwork, yet seems to have been strangely overlooked. Definitely an equal to the Bonfim album by IMPURITY a few years back._________________Bad people and worse musicians.

The first EP was the absolute worst of their material, and even that was OK.

Inverted Blood and Mystic Massacre are both phenomenal albums, the first being a total Von/ImpNaz worship fest (in the best possible way) and the band finally developing more of their own sound on MM.

Mystic Massacre has the Goat tracks on it, so I'm not sure if the "exclusive" to the vinyl EP thing ever actually happened._________________If you are a false don't marry! Girlfriend is ok but only destructing anus from behind!!! - Fat Dagon
